@dansup the word "algorithm" has become a bit of a bogeyman on the fediverse. There's nothing wrong with helping users see content that may be relevant to them, as long as they have control over it and it doesn't involve shady data collection practices.

I see similar stuff with "AI", sure the modern incarnation of AI is legally and morally questionable, but basic content analysis (e.g. spam filters) that has been around for decades seems to be getting lumped in with it now.
